"It must be a matter of when, not if, the industry faces a government led crackdown on the use of adequate mine-vehicle collision avoidance technology."
Richard Roberts, 8 September 2008, Highgrade.net
"It is the biggest killer currently in the industry."
Tilman Rasche on vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-person collisions Queensland Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovat
"Immediate intervention by industry is required to implement a practical strategy that ensures risks from collisions are controlled to ALARA (as low as reasonable achievable) levels."
Tilman Rasche, August, 2009
On collision related incidents in the United States:
"MSHA recently conducted a review of all mining-related fatal accidents from the last five years. It was determined that approximately 20% of all mining-related deaths could be prevented through the use of proximity detection."
